I have Dell Precision 670 and Dell PowerEdge 2850 Server. What would be the best card today which can fit in one of these machines? I need it for development only.

Don’t know what fits in the machine, but Value for money: GTX 260 core 216 More power, still good value, for slightly more money: GTX 275 Absolute performance, single-GPU: GTX 285 And perhaps for multi-GPU programming, two devices on a single card: GTX 295. I’m hesitant to recommend this re. val…

I made the research and the results shows that the limiting factor is the power consumption. The fact of reality is you cannot just choose a card and plug in in the computer. From all new models of CUDA compatible cards I found only 2 which could fit to any of my systems: Quadro FX 5800 - 189W, …

The GTX 260 only uses 182W, so if you can run a FX 5800, you should be able to run that. (And it is a lot cheaper.) I’m confused which Tesla product you are talking about here. The C1060 is a single card which draws a maximum of 188W and has 240 floating point units, just like the GTX 275 and G…

I am referring to C1060. The part number the power supply in Dell Precicion 670 is X1463: 650 W, the power supply in this system doesn’t have the 2 6-pin adapters required to power it. it doesn’t have an 8-pin at all too. ~700+200=~900 is what I need. Better more - Dell recommended 1,200 W.

I have an AMD phenom II 940 and a gtx260sp, and it runs on a 450W PSU. There is no way you need a 1200W psu for 1 C1060 in a desktop. Just get the molex to 6 pin adapters and use the power supply you have is my suggestion.

Fair enough, though that seems like quite a lot of power for a single Tesla card. I regularly run a pairs of 200W cards in computers (but not Dells) with 750-850W power supplies. (I’m surprised to see that C1060 uses a 6 & 8-pin connector when the max power consumption is 188W. That amount of po…

The problem is that according to Dell the power adapter doesn’t have the 2 6-pin and doesn’t have a 8-pin at all it has only 1 6-pin power connector. That means I have to replace the power adapter with more appropriate. Another problem is that Dell cannot recommend a new one because they will re…

a basic Core 2 Duo or C2Quad machine with plenty of memory can use a C1060 without a problem. you can get a machine like that for much, much less than $2000. try $900.

That’s because with the C1060 you can use one eight-pin or two 6-pins, whichever is more convenient.
